How I Earned My First Tech Coin πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚

People think the hardest part about tech is coding.

No.

The hardest part is surviving long enough before the money starts coming in πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚.

Sometimes I’d feel motivated after watching successful developers online.

Then after two hours of debugging, I’d start questioning every life decision that brought me to tech.

One time I applied for an online gig with confidence.
